  1. Thanks G i will be on the lookout for B haha
  2. Hmm I think I figured it out lol. Can a mod delete this clutter? Please lol
  3. Some weirdo left this on my profile here...what does this even mean?
  4. You guys in the Oppenheim snowmobile club up there by chance?
  5. Hey! I never even thought about that! Dinner thread pics haha, it’ll be great.
  6. Pinch of 1/2 & 1/2 just to change the color for my coffee in my cup Jenn got me last year.
  7. Update: had a visit with my prosthetist’s office this afternoon. Today was the second step of a new arm build. In the previous post, I posted a few pics of my arm in a casting material, which as said gives them an actual 3D diagram of my arm for the use in constructing the socket. Today I was there to test fit the first rough draft socket, that they made from plastic. What happens is, they filled that last casting up with a solidifying liquid of some sort, then as it hardens they insert s metal rod. After that, the casting is cut off the hardened liquid that it was filled with....so NOW they have a perfect replica of my real arm, except it had a post sticking out of it, pretty much a lollipop. You follow? Now, they take a sheet of flat plastic, and heat it up, and drape it over the arm “lollipop”, that is being held by a bench vise....the plastic is than molded, and vacuum formed over the replica of my arm. They then cut, and file, etc to the correct shapes, and edges as you will soon see in pics below. Now that you have a general idea of how it’s made, today I was there to try it on, and wear it. The prosthetist trimmed the lips/edges accordingly until my arm fit in properly at the mouth. Once I was able to fully insert my arm, the prosthetist would check for loose areas, and remove the socket, hear it up with a small torch, and bend the socket inward for a more snug of a fit. That was the general idea of this step in building an arm. I go back in a couple weeks, and he will have the final socket done if I understood correctly. The interior electrical components have been ordered, as well, and it sounds as if this arm will be made from carbon fiber. The great news about this socket, is that I can bend my elbow COMPLETELY, I have full range of motion! That is VERY exciting, I have NEVER had full range of motion in any prosthetic arm ever. I have always used liners to hold the arm on, which bunch up as you bend your elbow. This is not at all new socket technology, but this prosthetist is new, and he has 20 yrs of experience in Brooklyn, and he brings a lot of value. With this new arm, I should be able to use the prosthesis to eat/drink directly from, and not use my sound hand! Big steps today
  8. Well there was enough for 2 there, I’m so full! I have never met one of these I haven’t liked, they are my favorite!
  9. Last of the leftovers, and since I ate the entire slab of corned beef last night, I threw on a couple garlic/cheese snaaaawsages.
  10. Yeah huh? I just trim the little bit of brown off of the stalk, the cabbage doesn’t seem to get all moshey as when its removed at our work meal. Thanks Chef
  11. Over medium is my favorite, but not picky
  12. It works either way, leaving core on keeps it all in tact, just easier to plate really. No right, or wrong way really as far as I see it. Same here, cabbage once a year today only. I love red cabbage on green salads though
  13. Haha nice! Am I the only one who does not cut the core out of the cabbage? It is edible, and tender, and holds the leaves together throughtout long simmers. We cut them out at work though for our annual dinner. I can’t wait to eat! Jenn is exercising, so it will be a little while
  14. So my Yeti lowball 10 oz does not fit in my Escape’s cup holder, I ordered a cupholdsr adapter insert. Cheaper than a new cup, hopefully its not a waste.
  15. Looks tasty, but are you drunk lol? Holly “autocorrect” haha
  16. Sorry to hear this, and for your loss. My dad, and I went through this on the morning of the 2nd day of regular season. Obviously not an easy thing, but what you are doing is the best thing to do in my opinion, spend time with one another. Life is too short, and you blink, and 10 yrs has passed. Condolences to you, and the family.
  17. G-man, turkeys bore me to death, but the original photo looks like a painting. Very nice
